Auto update
Learn about the auto-update feature in SkinsRestorer.
SkinsRestorer looks for updates when the server starts. If an update exists, it downloads the file.
SkinsRestorer installs the update during the next server restart.
On BungeeCord and Velocity networks, only backend servers update automatically. When SkinsRestorer reports an update, update the proxy manually.
Why automatic updates are enabled

Update security
SkinsRestorer compares the downloaded file's hash with the GitHub release. This comparison detects damaged or different files.
Automated tests and project testers examine each release before publication.
Disable automatic updates
The project does not provide support for installations with automatic updates disabled.
The automatic updater reduces manual work and shows an in-game message when an update is available.
If you still want to disable it, read the instructions at the bottom of config.yml.
